PC Power and Cooling S75QB 750 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply compatible with core i7

Pros: Does the job, picks up the slack where my thermaltake 550 watt couldnt hold up in SLI Mode with 2 8800 gts 640 mb.

Cons: Kinda Large, a little modification to my Thermaltake Soprano DX case and she was in. So no reason not to buy this even says on site GTX certified as well so great PSU get it!!

Overall Review: Made original 3Dmark06 score 11k now jumped to 15k with new psu. Current setup being run by product - q6600 @ 3.2 gz with 2 evga 8800gts 640mb on an evga 780i, 3 hdds: 1 Raptor 150 gig, 1 WD 320gig, 1 Seagate 160gig(usb),4 gig mushkin ram, arctic freezer 7 , 2 optical drives, creative fatality series sound, so as you can see this psu is capable of many things including tri sli

Pros: great when it worked

Cons: stayed within all the normal operating limits for temp for this type of card 1 1/2 months of use and it gets screen errors thruought the whole screen whenever playing games, something worth 400 bucks shouldnt break!

Overall Review: amd 5600+ 4gb mushKin ram vista x64(sadly) 150gb wd raptor X 320 wd storage thermaltake 550w dual rail sli was the card im reviewing but now 2 XFX 7600GT's SLI untill solved asus msn sli deluxe so i post my setup here only to show that the card should have been fine with my gear had a few extra fans for cooling and a thermaltake soprano dx case with exceptional cooling features as well the temps were good 55C to 77c on average once hit 80c after 11 hours use underload I just wonder what made it die.

Pros: Not gunna lie when this thing worked it was the fastest burner ever, incredible speeds writing at 16x burn a movie in 7 minutes or less, 20 dvds no caosters!

Cons: Next thing ya know theirs 2 coasters, then dvd drive will read nothing no blank media or cd-roms or movies and wont even load up the disc. Image burn software reads as (No Reference Point Found) Logical unit not ready, well I really have no idea what it means all I knows is that my brand spankin new dvd burner the 20a1s is WACK! bought it retail even not oem all nice and pretty packaging and the box is worth more to me now!

Overall Review: Well my ups 2nd day shipping turned into ups 7 day shipping when I orderd all this from newegg lets see how long a return takes?
